1951 Sugar Bowl, Kentucky vs. Oklahoma

Voting for the first poll is officially over.

The question was which Associated Press champion since 1997 was the most controversial? Here's how you voted:
1997 Michigan 14 (51%)
2002 Ohio State 6 (22%)
2003 Southern California 6 (22%)
2006 Florida 1 (3%)

Yeah, I have to agree with you. And if you think that's a hint to how some of these are portrayed in the book, especially the list of the 10 most controversial champions in history, you would be correct.

Monday, I'll have a Michigan photo in honor of the victory, along with a new poll regarding one of its rivals. Meanwhile, today we honor Kentucky for being ranked in the top 10.
